Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1½ pounds baby potatoes halved or quartered if large
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or a mix of thyme, rosemary, and oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the halved baby potatoes and season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are golden on the outside and fork-tender. Transfer the potatoes to a plate.
  2. Pat the sirloin steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season them well with salt, pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the steak cubes in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a brown crust, adjusting the cooking time for your desired doneness.
  4. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Allow the garlic to become fragrant for about 30 seconds before stirring into the steak.
  5. Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together so that the steak and potatoes are well coated with the garlic butter sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

This Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup, thanks to its one-skillet method. You can swap sirloin for ribeye, tenderloin, or even strip steak to suit your taste or budget. Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes make a fine alternative to baby potatoes, and using fresh herbs can elevate the flavor even further. Serve with a crisp salad or your favorite steamed vegetable for a complete meal.
